Strange CPU Thermals

I'm seeing strange readings from HWINFO64 for my CPU. Under routine workloads I see intermittent/brief temp spikes up to the 90s. These last less than a second. However, under Prime95 torture test the CPU barely hits the 70s. I thought maybe it's a software glitch so I tried monitoring the temps using another program but I see the same strange temp spikes. Could it be a sensor malfunction?

 

ROUTINE WORKLOADS:

Normal office stuff: Web browsing (Firefox), emails (Thunderbird), spreadsheets (Excel), PDFs (Adobe Reader).

Could be just bug or sensor fault. This is laptop, right? You really shouldn't run stress tests on those.
